The Forbidden Voyage

By: Betty Biggs-Qaaqer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a imprisoned miner volunteers for a one-way voyage to escape a dying planet, she never expects to become the empire’s most dangerous variable—or its most forbidden desire.

Gredie Vyraxi knows the stars weren’t meant for someone like her. Born beneath the crust of a penal world, she’s spent her life mining the empire’s future while being denied her own. But when the Kyryx Lottery grants her a single ticket off-world—“honored service” aboard an elite Juulan warship—she signs her name and seals her fate.
What awaits her aboard the SS Eros isn’t freedom. It’s surveillance. Silence. Steel. And a commander whose loyalty is legendary...and lethal.

Commander Dorgon Varyn is the law incarnate: bred for obedience, armored in control. His warship runs on precision—until a human arrival begins to short-circuit the balance. She’s insubordinate, irreverent, and unshakably alive. The kind of anomaly that rewrites equations…and commandments.

As protocols falter and unseen forces stir within the ship, desire sparks in dangerous places. On a diplomatic mission to a world of prophecy and tides, fate and fire begin to entwine. Some edicts were never meant to be broken. Others were made to burn.

THE FORBIDDEN VOYAGE is a lush, steamy, slow-burn space romantasy featuring:

• a fierce, defiant heroine chasing stars and her own awakening
• a duty-bound alien commander struggling with temptation and law
• impossible attraction in an empire where love is treason
• sentient ships, moonlit oceans, ancient powers, and dangerous prophecy
• political drama, found-family rebellion, and heat that defies the void

For readers who crave galaxy-spanning passion, morally gray loyalties, and chemistry that blazes brighter than the stars.
Book One of the Starbound Edict series. Contains explicit scenes and mature themes. Recommended for adult readers.

Sounded great for the first 20 minutes.

No action. Sooo boring. Could have been interesting but after a couple hours of nothing happening I couldn’t stand it.
